1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Hi. Hi. Welcome back to the house. Since you haven't been here forever. I know. How's it

2
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:26,160
going? Good. How are you? I am good. I'm great. You know, just hanging out. I haven't done

3
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,960
much. I feel I mean, maybe I have. I don't know. But you've been gone for like a whole month.

4
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:37,760
It was a wild ride. I was very, very ready to get home. I'm pretty sure my mom was ready for us to

5
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:44,320
leave too. Yeah, probably. Well, no. You know, my parents, I'm sure that sometimes they want me to

6
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,640
leave. And then like the next day after I'm gone, they're like, are you going to come back? When

7
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,800
are you coming back? And I'm like, okay, you had like one break from me and now you want me to come

8
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,680
back where you're going to hate me in two days. So yeah, no, I mean, it was a really great trip

9
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,840
overall. Like we didn't have any knockdown drag outs. Like it was so much fun. It was a little

10
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,080
bit harder this time because we went for the same amount of time that we went last year.

11
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,320
And except for the boys came with Jerry and I in the beginning because we had an engagement party

12
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:20,720
to go to all of us. And so it was just a little harder to get back to reality. Because we were all

13
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:29,600
off for like five days and then the boys left and then it was like, oh, okay. I guess, you know,

14
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,600
well, Jerry and I will sit at the kitchen table and, you know, work from home now.

15
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:41,440
So it was definitely interesting always. And it was last year too, working at the kitchen table

16
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:48,240
together. So not, don't recommend, don't recommend working at the kitchen table. No, or just like

17
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,040
together with somebody. No, I mean, she and I, like we would go somewhere else if we needed to

18
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,920
or whatever. Like in the beginning when we got there, it was hot as fire outside. My mom was

19
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:09,120
like, pack your warm clothes. So I had like one like short sleeve shirt for wearing. And then I

20
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:15,280
mainly had long sleeves and sweaters and I didn't bring any sandals. Jerry brought her Birkenstocks

21
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,720
and so she was like good to go. And I mean, it wasn't too hot, but I mean, it was warm enough

22
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,800
to not need long sleeves or sweaters and shit like that. And I was fairly miserable in the beginning

23
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,040
because it was so hot and we don't have central air. Oh, they don't have central. Oh my God.

24
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,200
No, they don't know how to live. They have baseboard heat from like the furnace. So there's

25
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:43,040
like old, like, you know, I don't even know if they're steel or what type of metal they are,

26
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,240
but you know, built in to the wall. So it's not like a standalone furnace. It's all along,

27
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,640
like right above the baseboards, runs along there and that's what heats the house. But there's no

28
00:02:52,640 --> 00:03:00,640
duct work for central, forced air or heat. So do they have like any type of air conditioning?

29
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:04,400
No. They don't have any like window units? They have one window unit in the living room. We did

30
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,320
turn it on one time because Jerry and I were just so hot, but my mom had already taken hers out of

31
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:13,760
her bedroom. Do they have fans or something? I mean, I had a tower, we had a tower fan in there

32
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:19,120
and Brandon and I were super hot like the first couple nights. And then I rigged up this tower

33
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,040
fan, like on top of a nightstand essentially. So it would, cause I mean, a tower fan is not going

34
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,760
to do shit when your bed is like three feet off the ground. Like, what is that going to do? It's

35
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,000
just going to blow onto the ground, you know, or into the wall. And so then I had Mitch go down to

36
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,680
the basement and get my old like window fan, you know, that can stick in a window. And I mean,

37
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,400
it did get cool enough at night to blow in some cold air, but it sure as shit wasn't air conditioning.

38
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,480
So how do you keep your house from like getting mildew and mold and stuff in it if you don't have

39
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,240
like central air? They have a dehumidifier in the basement. That's it. I mean, I guess it just

40
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,280
doesn't get humid up there? No, not the same as here. Definitely not. Oh, okay. I always thought

41
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,680
that you had to like have that or something to circulate the air so that you don't. Well, I mean,

42
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,320
they've got screen doors and stuff. And so, I mean, we do like a porch screen door and a screen door

43
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,960
on the front door too. So we leave both those open a lot just to get some airflow. Oh, wow.

44
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,600
Interesting. I don't know. I don't know if I've ever been in a house like that before. Maybe I have.

45
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,160
Let me just tell you, I will never be going there in the middle of the summer. I wouldn't survive.

46
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,240
Yeah, that's well, how hot does it get? I mean, when we were there, it was in the 80s,

47
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,760
like low 80s. Yeah, that's really hot. And that was in the end of September, beginning of October.

48
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,160
Do they have, I mean, when you go to like work and stuff, do you have air conditioning? Yeah.

49
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,800
Oh, okay. I was like, I guess maybe that like, I would not want to work from home if I had to.

50
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:55,760
Like my grandmother had central air at her house, but the house my mom bought just didn't.

51
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,480
Yeah. Growing up in the summer, I slept in the basement a lot because it was just much cooler

52
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:07,040
down there. Interesting. Yeah. Well, that's cool. So what else did y'all do? After we got up there,

53
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:16,640
we did an Airbnb not far, like 45 minutes from the house. And it's, I think it's on the racket

54
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:22,640
river. And so, you know, it was really nice, like almost like a cabin type situation on the water.

55
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:29,520
And we stayed there for two nights and had a lot of fun. It was hysterical. We got up there and

56
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,960
I'm trying to think of, I think the first night that we were there, we cooked steaks and stuff.

57
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,680
That or else, I don't know what we did. Maybe we didn't. I need some good stories. So tell me about

58
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,640
the fingers cup, fingers game or whatever. Well, I'll get there. I'll get there. Jerry and I did

59
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:50,160
jump in the lake and nobody knew we were going to do it. And I mean, the water was cold. It was real

60
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:59,360
cold. But we had gone to this place called racket river brewing, which is like probably 40, 45

61
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,080
minutes from where we were staying in Tupper Lake, New York. And they've got like three different

62
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,760
food trucks there and all kinds of beer and cider, but they have mixed drinks and stuff too. But

63
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:14,800
they've got a great indoor outdoor space. And so we all hung out up there for like a good while on

64
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:22,080
Friday during the day. But when we came back, we were all kind of just doing our own thing,

65
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,440
winding down from that. And Jerry had brought a pizza, part of her pizza home from one of the

66
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,720
food trucks up there. And so she was sitting out by the dock. And so I went and sat with her and I

67
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,720
was like, do you want to jump in? And she was like, yeah. And I was like, well, we need to wait for

68
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,520
mom to get out here. So then we are like, Dawn, we take some pictures of me and Jer. And so we went

69
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,920
to the end of the dock and she was taking some pictures. And finally we turned around and she

70
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,120
was like, well, why do you want to behind the picture? And Jer was like, we're going to jump

71
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:54,080
up in the air and we want you to get that picture or whatever. So then she started recording

72
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,600
and like, cause she doesn't know how to do like a boomerang or anything like that. So she just

73
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:06,400
started recording and Jerry and I, and I told Jerry, I said, if you make me jump in this water

74
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,240
by myself, I'm going to kill you. And she was like, that's some shit you would do not me.

75
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,880
But we both went in and we got a really cool picture of us, like from a still from my mom's

76
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,520
video or whatever, but you can hear my mom. She goes, Oh, you're jumping in. I didn't know you

77
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:26,720
were jumping. And then I looked like a beach whale trying to get up out of there. Cause we had real

78
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,400
clothes on, I had jeans on and the ladder like wasn't super long. So I'm trying to like hike a

79
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,400
fucking leg up there to like, to get it in your legs. Like, well, first of all, your clothes are

80
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,440
heavy, but then you've got jeans. So it's like stiff legs, like, Oh, heavy legs. Yeah.

81
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:48,320
But that was funny. And, um, the fingers game. So that happened like a while after,

82
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:55,680
but we play this game called left, right center. And all it is, is three dice and the dice have

83
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,360
either dots on them, L's, R's or C's. And so you just start with three quarters. Where do you get

84
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,880
the dice for this? Does it come, do you buy this? Yeah. And it's called what? Left, right center.

85
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,920
Okay. And it's really fun. And so then you put like a bowl in the middle of the table. Cause C is

86
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:17,840
center and we call it church or whatever. So like, if you roll a C, you, however many C's you roll,

87
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,400
you put into, you know, the center bowl or whatever. Right. And then if you roll an L or an R,

88
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,800
you know, you send your quarter right left, but if you roll dots, you get to keep your coins.

89
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,440
And so let's just say in your first roll, you know, you roll an R, you give that away. The next

90
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,200
time you're only going to roll two dice, you roll the die equivalent to the number of quarters that

91
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,440
you have. And just because you lose your quarters doesn't mean that your time is up because other

92
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:45,280
people can still left or right hand quarters to you. So you could be out for several rounds and

93
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,760
then all of a sudden have three quarters again. You know what I mean? So the very last person to

94
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,880
have quarters left that haven't gone to the center, you know, you can't get a quarter.

95
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:01,680
So the person who has left that haven't gone to the center wins. So we were playing with some of

96
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:08,560
our neighbors and her kids. And so you don't want your quarters to go to the center. No, you want

97
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:13,920
to keep your quarters because then you win everything in the center. Oh, gotcha. So we're

98
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,560
playing with some of our neighbors or whatever. And Jerry taught, learned this game at Auburn

99
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:23,200
called fingers. And it, do you know what it is? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So that's why I was like,

100
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:28,400
yes. And so she has taught, I mean, everybody knows it now because she's taught all of them,

101
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,360
you know, her time spending time with them or whatever. And so we played that and it was who,

102
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,960
if you win at left heart center, you don't have to participate in fingers.

103
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:44,240
Oh, you don't have to, but would you want to, she doesn't. Oh, she doesn't. I mean, we were

104
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:52,880
drinking everything from maple bourbon to cider to in the fingers, cup. Yeah. To chardonnay

105
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,200
to wait. So did y'all mix drinks and put them in the cup in the middle or we had one cup in

106
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,880
the middle and you pour a little bit. No, you pour a little bit of your drink in there. So it was a

107
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,280
mixed drink mix. Oh, we didn't do, we didn't do it like that. It was more like a shot or like

108
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,760
we poured like, put like a whole drink, like not something nasty. Oh no. No, the very first time

109
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,000
that it was like a suicide alcoholic beverage. Yes. Yes. That's disgusting. Yeah. I don't want

110
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,800
to play that. Had me play that at Auburn. There were like 12 of us. It was terrible. And I

111
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:28,880
lost and I thought I was going puke. How many times did you lose though? At that time, once I

112
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,520
figured it out, I was pretty much okay. I only lost once with her then when I was, when we were

113
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:39,680
up there, it is so hard to get her and my mom so hard. Really? Mitch is one of those dingle

114
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:44,400
dongs that'll, you know, be in there and there'll be, you know, two or three people left or whatever

115
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:52,880
and he'll go one, two, three, none and leave his finger. So it's, it's just funny to play. Yeah.

116
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,840
That's fun. Well, I'm glad you got, you guys have fun. What else do you, any, did you go leaf peeping?

117
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:04,000
I mean, when we went up to racket river, like the drive up there is nice and the, I would say the

118
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,960
place that we stayed at in Higley was really nice too. And I mean, you could see open water and they

119
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,000
did have a rowboat and Thomas and Jerry went out, but the leaves looked really nice from there. I

120
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,960
got some really good sunset pictures there. Did Brandon enjoy it? He, I think he had fun. Yeah.

121
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:28,080
I mean, yeah. He, yes, he had fun. How long was he there? We flew up on a Wednesday and he and

122
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,640
Thomas drove down to Syracuse to fly out the following Tuesday. So almost a whole week.

123
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:38,000
Yeah. But that Saturday we had an engagement party to go to for my friend David Parker and.

124
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,200
How did that go? It was so good. Any like funny stories from any of this stuff?

125
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:49,840
Um, well, yeah, Jess, his fiance, so she and I had never met face to face. So that was like our first

126
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:55,600
time meeting. I mean, we, you know, text almost daily. Um, but we haven't, you know, we hadn't

127
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:02,400
met before. And so he told us to be there two hours before everybody else. Well, come to find

128
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,320
out the reason why we needed to be there no longer existed, but nobody told me that. So I didn't have

129
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,600
to be there at five o'clock could have been there at seven. So when we show up at five,

130
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,800
she's still there, not dressed, like still finishing decorating and whatever it has to go home and get

131
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,760
dressed and all that. So she comes later, which I mean, it was fun. Brandon and I caught up, you

132
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:27,200
know, with his parents and you know, met her family and whatever, but, um, she doesn't drink very often,

133
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:34,080
like rarely, like twice a year, like new years and like maybe some other celebration. This girl was

134
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:41,200
doing shot, shot, shot, shot shots of her favorite thing ever, which is Jaeger. Disgusting.

135
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,480
And it was so funny cause I was sitting at a table. And if you don't drink a lot taking shots,

136
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:52,320
oh, it's such a random thing to like really love and like choose to drink, you know, when you don't

137
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,040
drink very often, but it was funny. So my mom and them get there cause they came, you know, at the

138
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,560
seven o'clock time, she, my mom was like, I didn't get to come in here without taking a Jaeger shot

139
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:09,840
with Jess. And I'm like, Oh, my, Don's going to feel good later. Oh my God. Yeah. No, I would not.

140
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:16,800
I'd be like, no, no, we can't do that. But they had like this, um, like Canadian like dance and song

141
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,120
thing that they did or whatever. And I don't, I mean, it wasn't the Canadian national anthem or

142
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,960
anything like that. I don't really know what it was, but it was like fun to see, you know, that

143
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,920
cause I have no idea about Canadian traditions and things like that. So that's cool. Yeah, it was neat.

144
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:35,360
That's my favorite kind of thing. Like I've always wanted to have like, like get married to an Indian

145
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,840
man so that I can have an Indian wedding. Cause I can't just like have an Indian wedding when I'm not Indian.

146
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:45,360
Yeah, it was cute. And her family was so stinking nice and it was good to, you know, catch up with some other

147
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:50,880
folks that were there. So it was a good time. And then I mean, we, life kind of went back to normal

148
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:57,760
after that really. The boys went home and we worked and it was real bad weather, like right after the

149
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:04,640
guys left for days, like just raining. It did cool off, which was nice, but we couldn't really go

150
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:10,400
outside and do anything. So that following weekend, Auburn was off. We had a bye week. And so

151
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,760
I didn't really care about watching football. I want to go do something. Well, we're all like

152
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,480
amped up. We're trying to figure out what we're going to do. There was some kind of like fall

153
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:24,240
festival in like another town that was probably about 45 minutes to an hour away or whatever.

154
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,320
And they were going to have food trucks and bands and all these vendors, but it was raining. And I

155
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,000
was like, I don't have a raincoat. I don't want to go stand out in the rain. We ended up watching

156
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,800
football all day long. Well, that's always fun. Yeah. I mean, we had a great time. At least y'all

157
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,760
got some rain. I guess we did. We kind of got some rain for a hot minute here. It was raining the day

158
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:48,000
that I came back that I flew back. It was rainy. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, it was fun. We had a great

159
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,080
time. Brandon's like, I saw one of my neighbors, Laura, and she was like, Brandon says y'all are

160
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:59,760
moving up there. And I was like, don't listen to him. He would be bored in four months. He would be

161
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:06,640
born. Bored. Oh, bored. Yeah. I mean, why would he be bored? It gets old quick a little bit, especially

162
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,480
if it's not something that you're used to. Like, I mean, we're used to be bopping around to all of

163
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:16,160
our different friends houses or whatever. And being able to go to a million different restaurants

164
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,560
or bars or breweries or whatever. And we just don't have that. Oh, well, but I mean, I feel like he

165
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:26,320
would probably go with you anywhere as long as you're there. Oh, I think so too. But I'm not going

166
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:32,720
up there. I just I miss. So you would be bored. Yeah, I would be bored for sure. I mean, well,

167
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:39,920
because like David and I are close, like very close, but I know that we wouldn't. I don't know

168
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:46,560
that we would hang out all the time. Maybe we would because of Jess, but like. I don't I don't

169
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,640
know. I just I don't think that's for me. Like I can work from anywhere. I think I would be more

170
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,840
worried about Brandon being unhappy, you know, trying to find a job in a much smaller market

171
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:03,680
up there and, you know, not being happy with it and just going to go. Right. Yeah. Well, I mean,

172
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,760
Birmingham is better anyways. I've never been there, but I'm just biased. It's a beautiful.

173
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:17,200
So highly recommend to anybody listening upstate New York. And I don't mean like central New York.

174
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,520
I mean, like the North Country, New York, Adirondack Mountains, Canton, New York,

175
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,240
Tupper Lake, New York, Potsdam, New York. Go look at it. It's a lot of cows, a lot of Amish. They

176
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,840
have the best cheese curds in the whole entire world. But it's a great place for like a fall

177
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:38,320
trip for sure. Cool. Yeah. Maybe I'll need to go next year. Yeah. I got to go back for Dave's

178
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,920
wedding. So when is that? I don't know that they have a date specifically yet, but I think they're

179
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:52,640
shooting for September. All right. So if without, I mean, if you don't have anything else on that

180
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,720
topic, I think the only other story that I want to tell, I do just, this is the only other story.

181
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:04,480
I put it on my Snapchat story the other day, but my 33 year old sister did not know that you have

182
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:11,280
to add water to condensed soup. Yeah. And that was the craziest thing. So has she been,

183
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,440
that's what I was wondering. Has she been eating that for her whole life? Seawater chicken noodle

184
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,920
soup. Yes. Interesting. So was it just like the regular chicken noodle soup that you put, hers,

185
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,080
it looked, it didn't look like chicken noodle soup. It looked like the big, like the big noodles or

186
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:30,400
something. Well, she had crackers in there. Oh, that was crackers. Oh. But Campbell's chicken

187
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,400
noodle soup, condensed chicken noodle soup with no water. I mean, it kind of sounds better.

188
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:40,160
Sometimes I feel like, you know, the bowls that I have, I have to, when I make Campbell's chicken

189
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,280
noodle soup, you have to like put it in like a big pot or like a deep bowl. And then I'm like,

190
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,000
I've got too much. Like I want you to make it with like one serving. The best part of it was, well,

191
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,240
and that was the best part. She was like, I always wondered why it only made one serving.

192
00:17:54,240 --> 00:18:02,320
Yeah. That's so funny. But I just, I mean, that was one of the funniest things that happened the

193
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,840
whole time that we're there. And it was just her and I home by ourselves working. Yeah. Well,

194
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,600
you know, next time, did she, did she end up like adding water? She added a little bit of water.

195
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Okay. Well, I mean, I guess she could have like heated up some water or something and then put

196
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,280
it in there. So it's not like making it cold. The best part about it though, is that I got a couple

197
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:25,040
of responses on Snapchat to be like, yeah, my so-and-so who is this age also did not know this.

198
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,800
It says it on the can. So the best part was that I didn't, I didn't pay attention to what she was

199
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:36,640
doing. And so I went back into the garbage to find the can to make sure that it was condensed

200
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,800
soup. So I wasn't misleading her because you know, the progresso soup, you don't have to do that. Like

201
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,640
you just pour it out of the can and eat it. And so I went and digging through the trash to find the can

202
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:52,960
and being like, Jerry, it's literally right here. I even like after all of these years of preparing

203
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:58,240
my own Campbell soup or any type of soup or anything, I still like macaroni and cheese. I

204
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,960
know exactly how to make macaroni and cheese. I know exactly how much to put in there. I still

205
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,600
read the box. A hundred percent. I don't know why. And because what if they changed it? Yeah. But

206
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:13,200
like there, you know, there's some people that just, they're not direction readers and they just are

207
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,200
like, Oh, let me just do this. And like, whatever. What means she just went with it because that's

208
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,760
how she's been doing it her whole life. And I don't even know what made me ask her about it either,

209
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:28,480
but I was just like, what the fuck is going on in that bowl right there? Yeah. That's so funny.

210
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:36,160
Wow. All right. So I have an FMK for us. Okay. This is going to be for Halloween costumes. All

211
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:43,600
right. Since Halloween is coming up, happy Halloween. So these are just generic Halloween costumes.

212
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:55,120
Pat, a witch or a ghost. I am going to kill the ghost because it's just kind of boring. Okay. Like

213
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,680
I don't want to wear a sheet over my head with some eyeballs cut out. Like I don't want to do that.

214
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,880
Oh my God. Can I just stop you really quick? Because this morning, was it this morning that

215
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,600
I forgot about this. I saw this thing and it was like a sweatshirt that said ghost Malone. And it

216
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,960
was like a sheet with like tattoo things over the eyes. And it was hilarious. And I was like,

217
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,760
can Brandon please be this for her? Like, I was like, somebody needs to be this. What about Brandon

218
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:25,120
for Halloween ghost Malone? It would be so easy. It's hilarious. But yeah, anyways, that's what

219
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:29,120
reminded me of that. Sorry. No. So I want to kill the ghost because I think it's just a little bit

220
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:35,200
boring. I'm probably going to fuck the witch because even though I love Hocus Pocus and Jerry

221
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:42,400
and I watched it for probably the millionth time while we were home, most witches for Halloween,

222
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,840
the costumes are pretty generic. And I don't know. I love all of these are very generic. I know. I

223
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,640
know. But like, I still think I'm going to fuck a witch. I'm going to marry a cat. And I'm not even

224
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,680
like really a cat person. Like I like your cat and Melanie's cat and like Rose's cats, but like

225
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:03,280
in general, I'm not a cat person, but a cat, you can make a cat look sexy. And I like that. You can

226
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:09,920
make a witch look sexy and a ghost. I don't know. I like cat ears. Sexy ghost. I want to know what

227
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:16,320
your sexy ghost looks like. Ghost Malone and. Ghost Malone is not sexy. A sweatshirt is not sexy.

228
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,280
Tell me how. Well, you don't wear it. Why would you wear a sweatshirt?

229
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:26,000
You're not wearing a sweatshirt. You wear like a, a sheet with tattoos on it. Well, that would be

230
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:31,440
for Ghost Malone. For Ghost Malone. Yes. But like you can make it. Yes. I bet you, you can make it

231
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,560
look sexy. All right. Well, why don't you do that? I'm already have my Halloween costume. Are you

232
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:42,640
still recycling? Recycling. Yeah. Wearing an old one? No, I'm going to be the Princess Diana

233
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,920
Beanie baby. Oh, okay. Yes. I can recall. We talked about this, but I'm pretty sure she was texting her

234
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:54,240
buddies in Canada during that time. So, um, so yeah, I'm going to be the Princess Diana Beanie baby. So,

235
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,360
um, I have that and I've already like made it and everything. Nice. Yeah. It's ready to go. Cool.

236
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:03,920
Well, sort of ready to go, but you know, um, so where are you going to be? Still Barbie?

237
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,600
I don't know if I'm doing anything. Oh my God. But I do. I mean, I have my dress to be weird,

238
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,960
Barbie. I just haven't decided. I just feel like I've been going 9,000 miles an hour and I'm just

239
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:20,240
ready to not have a task to do on a weekend. Well, it's not a task. It's a fun thing to go

240
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:25,680
hang out and then leave and eat candy and eat food. So I just, I gotta amp myself up for it.

241
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:32,800
Okay. Well, it'll be fun. And that's sad if you don't go, but you know, nothing I can do about it.

242
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:38,800
Um, so if you do go though, what are you going to be? I thought you were like, okay, do you have the,

243
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,200
did those, your S come? Yeah, I just said that. Oh, okay. Sorry. I missed that. And you want to

244
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,760
know what's hilarious. I actually got a second day I'm dressed in the mail that I'm trying to sell on

245
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:52,240
marketplace. So if anybody is looking for a long sleeve knee length with a little bit of a slit,

246
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,760
pink sequin dress from Torrid, please go look for it on marketplace cause I'm ready to offload it.

247
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:06,960
That's funny. Well, so I would marry the witch, fuck the cat, actually, yeah, fuck the cat and

248
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:13,600
kill the ghost because the, like I have a witch's hat and it's like the best witch's hat ever. It's

249
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:19,600
like, see, I have good cat ears and so, but a cat, you could be a witch and a cat in the same day.

250
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,400
Like all you have to do is just wear a black outfit and like a witch, you can be like in a dress,

251
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,240
a black dress, or you could be in black pants and a shirt. I mean, like whatever things I got for

252
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,120
Halloween that like work wise anyways, that I wore to work when I was working in Cleveland was this

253
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:44,880
headband that had a black glitter bat wings on it and it was so cute. I was a bat for Halloween,

254
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,880
like I don't know how many years ago it was, but I went to like Stephanie, I don't know where all

255
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,680
I went, but I have a picture of it and I made my own bat wings and they like connected to my hands.

256
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,400
So when I moved my hands out, they like opened up and like, it was really hard to make and I wish I

257
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:03,440
still had it, but I think it like got lost or something or like messed up, but yeah, it was so

258
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,280
cute. Yeah, the bat. You're good at homemade costumes. I'm not. Yeah, well I'm not, I don't,

259
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,920
I wouldn't call myself good at it. I just, I like to think, I don't know, I like to do the homemade

260
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,400
stuff. I don't like to like buy the outfits. No, I don't either. I like to put random stuff together.

261
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:23,680
Like yeah, yeah, I agree. I haven't bought a like full-fledged like all the pieces costume

262
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:30,320
in like probably 10 years. I don't think I've ever, I mean, I'm, oh, I bought that corn outfit

263
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:35,760
last year, but that was just like one thing. Yeah. But I haven't, I don't know if I've ever bought like

264
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:41,760
you know, those sexy outfits. I've never wanted to be like a sexy anything for Halloween. Oh, I was a sheriff and I hated it

265
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:47,680
because I wore heels with it and I was miserable. I went to the B&A warehouse party and I was good to go

266
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,960
after like 30 minutes. I mean, I didn't, I stayed much longer than that, but I'm pretty sure I didn't

267
00:24:52,960 --> 00:25:03,520
have shoes on when I left there. Ew. Yeah, that's not fun. Okay. So breaking news. Yeah. You're on

268
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:10,320
VanderSloot. Confess to killing Natalie Holloway. If you guys don't know what this is, you are

269
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:18,880
probably born before 2005. Yeah. Or less or earlier than that. Or I mean later than that. Yeah. Because

270
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,040
anyways, Natalie Holloway is from Birmingham, from Mountain Brook, Alabama, which is right around the

271
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:32,080
corner from us. Yep. And she was kidnapped essentially, or she went missing, is what I would say. On their senior trip.

272
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:40,960
To Aruba. Yes, in 2005. And we were both juniors in high school. Yep. I remember going, so when I was in

273
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:46,240
school like at UAB, I remember going to volunteer at some certain place, like the Ronald McDonald

274
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:51,840
house, I think maybe. I don't know where exactly I was, where we went volunteering and they had

275
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,480
pictures of her on the wall because she used to volunteer there. It was just terrible. Like, oh, so sad.

276
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:03,360
Even years later, I came down here the summer after my freshman year of college and worked at my

277
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:10,960
neighbor's OBGYN office at Brookwood. So, you know, even cutting through, you know, Mountain Brook,

278
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:15,760
sometimes to go home or whatever, two years later, there were still yellow ribbons on people's mail

279
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:21,840
boxes in support of her. Yeah. Because for so long, there were no questions answered. Yeah. I mean,

280
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,560
it's a terrible thing and it's like 18 years later and they finally have gotten a confession. But,

281
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:34,720
okay, so apparently this confession was like, so he was on trial, I guess, or he was here

282
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:42,000
in Birmingham for extortion and wire fraud. Yep. And the plea deal, with the plea deal, he agreed to

283
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:51,120
confess to Natalie's, you know, her murder. Right. And so... Well, he's already in prison, right?

284
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,520
So, I think he's in, yeah, I believe he's been in prison and I don't know exactly where he is,

285
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,320
but he killed that other girl in 2008. I want to say it's like in Peru or something like that.

286
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:05,040
2010. 2010. Yeah. So, yeah, Peru because it's like Peruvian. They've been kind of like sharing him.

287
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,960
Yeah. Like back and forth with all this stuff. I mean, he's been in what, Jefferson County jail

288
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:14,240
since he's been here waiting for this trial to happen. I have no idea. Yeah. He's been in,

289
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:19,680
yeah, local county jail. In the jail? Mm-hmm. Oh, wow. Interesting. Okay. Yeah. I don't know

290
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:26,720
much, but my thing, like I sent Sarah this thing earlier and this, you know, not trying to joke

291
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:32,640
about this because it's not funny, but he wasn't even cute. Like, that sucks so bad. And apparently

292
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:38,880
he like made passes at her and she was like, no, I'm not going to have this. And, you know,

293
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:44,160
he was like, well, screw you and just like murdered her. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure he got his feelings

294
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:49,200
hurt because I mean, he's got, comes from a rich family. I'm sure he got what he wanted most of

295
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:54,320
his life and I'm, I bet he- And then he kicked her and killed her and then put a, like smashed her

296
00:27:54,320 --> 00:28:00,400
face in with a cinder block. Like what? I mean- That is wild. And then I saw something where he

297
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,520
was like, I'm not the same person that I was. How can you say that five years after- And he's given

298
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,920
his life to Jesus Christ? Right. How can you say that when five years after the first time,

299
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,880
you did it again? Right. You're a shit human. Right. Like you suck. And then you still are

300
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:18,560
trying to extort money too. And it was only like, I say only, I mean, it was $250,000, I think.

301
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,840
That was a lot. That's a lot. I know. But like, it's not, it wasn't like millions, but also you come

302
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:30,800
from a rich family. So what are you, what are you doing? Well, like, yeah, I don't know. These

303
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,520
people- Everything is never enough for some people. Well that, and I guess sometimes people don't

304
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:41,360
live, they don't, I don't know. I'm making this up and I may or may not be right about this, but a

305
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:47,280
lot of, I believe potentially that a lot of times people with lots of means, like a lot of money,

306
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:53,040
they have means to get a lawyer to get all these things. And they just grow up thinking, oh, I'll

307
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:57,680
get out of this. Like, oh, if I get a DUI, it's kind of like going back to like the Up and Vanished

308
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:07,600
podcast, which I love. They, you know, the guy that essentially like got convicted of murdering her

309
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:13,680
or whatnot, he, well, there are two guys, one of them, he came from a very wealthy family. The

310
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:19,840
other one was not so well off, but the other guy, he just was like, would get like a DUI and just

311
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:26,160
like, you know, not like- No consequences. No consequences. Yeah. Let me just let my dad take

312
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:31,360
care of this. And I just feel like that happens and it's not really cool. Like my mom and dad,

313
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:39,120
we were not very well off like that. But even if they were, I don't, my mom would have been like,

314
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:44,000
she's always told me when I was younger, she was like, if you get a DUI, do not call me. She's

315
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,960
like, don't, she was like, don't get it. I will not come get you. I mean, it's the same sort of

316
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:57,520
thing with a Alec Murdoch case and his son, Paul. It's the same thing. Like you can, if you've watched

317
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:04,800
the documentary, you can see after the accident happens and there's like dash cams and body cams

318
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,920
from the police that showed up after the boating accident, Paul was acting nonchalant about it.

319
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,240
Like just like nothing happened. Like they didn't get, you know, tossed out of a boat

320
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,320
and were missing one of the people that they, you know, was in the boat with them. Like it was just

321
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:24,000
so, and one of the very first things he said is, can I call my dad? Yeah. And a lot of times people,

322
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,320
they, they have this like, oh, well, if anything goes wrong, my dad's going to fix it or my mom and

323
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:33,360
dad are going to fix it or whoever's going to fix it. And it takes something like that, somebody

324
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:39,200
dying. Well, but sometimes that doesn't even fix it. Yeah. Well that, and it's like, I grew up

325
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:45,120
thinking if anything bad happened, nobody's fixing it. Right. And I'm going to be screwed. I'm not

326
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,760
going to jail. Like I can't, I don't have this. And my, like right now, if I were to have to,

327
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,920
like if something were to happen, if I got a DUI or something like that, I don't have the, like the

328
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,880
money to pay for a lawyer like that, you know? Right. Like that. I mean, it's crazy ridiculous

329
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,280
to pay to get out of that. So it's like, I mean, I would essentially probably eventually be able to

330
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:10,240
pay for the stuff, but like it's expensive. Right. You don't have $25,000 to drop on a retainer for

331
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:17,360
an excellent lawyer. Right. Exactly. Yeah. So that, I mean, when people, the more money you have,

332
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:26,080
the more mo money, mo problems. I was literally going to say that. I'm so glad you did. I couldn't

333
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,800
get out of my mouth fast enough. But, and you know, it's not just like mo money, mo problem,

334
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:37,840
but I don't know. I, it makes me sick thinking about it. Cause if you think back that when we

335
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:43,440
were juniors, that was when we were juniors in high school, when she went missing and that like we,

336
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,920
when I went on, went to Cancun for my senior trip and I just remember everybody was like, oh my God,

337
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:54,960
what's, you know, and that I think, and I don't know for sure, but like, I think that is probably

338
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:02,720
the time of my life when I realized, oh, bad things happen to pretty young girls. And like

339
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,760
I could get taken or I could get murdered or I could get whatever. So don't get in the car with

340
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:14,960
a stranger, that kind of thing. And you know, honestly, it's hearing that story has helped

341
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,680
a lot of people try to be more safe and especially go into different countries and things like that.

342
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:25,040
And I hate it sad that we have to use that as an example, but like, you know, I'm sure Natalie's

343
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:30,400
mom and dad would be like really happy to hear that, you know, that has helped people stay safe

344
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:36,240
and not for it to not happen. And to be more vigilant of their surroundings and aware and

345
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:41,920
maybe drink less on a trip like that. So they don't get put in a situation. Watch your drink

346
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,800
so you don't get roofied. Be aware of, you know, your drinks and all that kind of stuff. And

347
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,680
I mean, it's super scary. I think that in high school, a lot of the times we think that we're

348
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:57,520
invincible and oh yeah, for sure. And it's scary. I mean, I would say the realization that you kind

349
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:03,920
of had with that was when I was a sophomore, this kid who had graduated the previous year

350
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,760
passed away in a car accident. And that was one of the first times that like a peer of mine had

351
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:17,680
died. And it was, I mean, gut wrenching and makes you understand that it can happen to anybody.

352
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:22,960
Anybody. Yeah. Yeah. Could happen, you know, tomorrow to anybody. I mean, it could happen

353
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:29,280
right now. Right. Oh man. Also Israel is so sad. I know. I just want to, we don't have to get into

354
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:35,840
it, but we can talk about how I've made a bug out bag. Did you see that big bag? Have I not told you

355
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:42,160
about this? Uh-uh. What? You're going to think I'm crazy and everybody is. I don't know. Okay. So

356
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:48,560
one night, like last week. I don't even know what you're saying. Bug out? A bug out bag or a go

357
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:55,760
bag or like a, I'll get to. Is that what is up at the landing on the stairs with the cat carrier?

358
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,800
So you are ready. The cat carrier and a helmet. I'm ready to grab it and it's in the stairway

359
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,920
landing. So if somebody comes to the front door, somebody comes to the back door, I've got a way

360
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,720
to get it real quick. Run out. Get all your animals, all your shit and you go. Yeah. So,

361
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,640
one day last week. You're making me nervous. After all the Israel stuff happened

362
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:18,880
and Hamas and all this. So my parents call and I had been, I always think about this all the time

363
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:25,120
anyways. And I usually have a bag, like I have a tornado prep bag that is stays in a certain area

364
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,800
and it has a, has, I have two helmets, one just in case my neighbor comes over or whatever

365
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:35,360
helmet for the tornado because we get tornadoes in Alabama. It has like flashlights, batteries,

366
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:40,800
water bottles, just in case I get trapped inside there. It has, I don't know, just random stuff

367
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:47,040
like that. And it's just a small little backpack for that. It has an air horn. So I took all of

368
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,560
that stuff and I was like going to use that same bag, but then I was trying to put all the stuff,

369
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:56,160
other stuff that I needed in there. And so I was like, this isn't going to fit. So I put in,

370
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:01,920
I wish I had a list of all the stuff in there. So there is a pair of tennis shoes with some socks.

371
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,440
There's a little bag with a change of clothes. Like they're like some old, cause I was like,

372
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,880
I don't know. I'm not going to put like, this is probably, probably not going to happen. Yeah.

373
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,920
It's like a pair of like Lululemon leggings that have like a hole in the crotch.

374
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,360
Like it's like a hole in the leg and the side, and then like a t-shirt and some, a sports bra

375
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:22,080
and some panties just in case I need to change clothes. There's water bottles. There's a, like a

376
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:28,000
bottle, like a water bottle that is empty that you can like take the lid off and drink water out of.

377
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:33,440
There is a, there is a fire starter. Like I have a fire starter. I mean, not that I would ever need

378
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:42,240
that, but there's like a couple of cans of, what did I put in there? No, there's a can. No, I put

379
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:47,120
in refried beans because they have like protein and all that stuff in there. So refried. And then

380
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:52,160
there's dog cans of dog food. There's some like dry dog food, some cat food, mostly it's dog stuff.

381
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:59,920
I also have their, the dog's life jackets in there. All three of them in there, just in case we got a,

382
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:07,840
like, I don't know. I'm not going to say, hop in the creek. Yes. So that, I have a bunch of ammo.

383
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:13,520
So like, I have a bunch of like, there's a, there's a, that's heavy. There's multiple. How heavy is that thing?

384
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:18,480
It's a very heavy. You should pick it up when you go out. You need to get like a backpack pack. So I

385
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,760
can't because the backpack has, I have to wear, I was going to wear a backpack, but Birdie goes in

386
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,080
a backpack on my back and I'm not leaving his ass. I'm sorry. He's getting in that thing and we going.

387
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,240
You need to, I need to get him a life jacket. You need to teach him how to walk on a leash.

388
00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:39,520
I tried when I got him as a kitty kitty and he hated it. He was like, no. He was like, no. So he,

389
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:46,240
yeah, that's, I tried really hard. Didn't work out for me, but I might try again. I would. Now

390
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:51,280
that he's old, he hated me. So what else is in there? I'm just like, I don't know. I've just got,

391
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,960
oh, batteries, extra batteries. I mean, like just the essentials. It seems like there's a lot,

392
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:04,000
but it's mostly like ammunition, just in case I got a pow pow. Some people I'm sorry. Like, look,

393
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:11,040
I believe in, I believe in gun control. 100%. I think that there are certain things that need to

394
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:17,120
possibly change, like, because it is way too easy to go buy a gun. I agree. Um, and I'm not going to

395
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:22,400
get into all that, but I do believe that we have, we should have the right to bear arms. So I apologize

396
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,640
for any, we can, if anybody disagrees with that, we can have a conversation and you can maybe change

397
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,920
my mind, but maybe I'll enlighten you on why I think that I also don't think that you should be

398
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:37,040
able to have a gun if you don't know how to use it. I think that everybody should know how to use

399
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:44,720
a gun had at least unload one just in case somebody else has it. So anyway, off that soap box. Um,

400
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:51,680
so I have my bug out bag and my parents and I, we tried to make us like a, um, a plan of where

401
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,280
we're going to meet because I've thought about this before and I'm like, if something were to happen,

402
00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:01,520
like I'm here by myself and like Daniel and Eric have families and my mom and dad, I know that they

403
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:07,920
would help me, but like there may not be as well equipped to like help me, but I'm like,

404
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:14,880
would somebody come get me? Like, what would I be? I would be here. Like, like what if I was like,

405
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:19,920
I don't know, what would you do? And my parents were like, we would be, yes, of course we would

406
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:24,560
come get you. My mom was like freaking out. And so we've had this whole plan. We were like setting

407
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:30,400
up meeting spots and I'm like, okay, but we have to decide where to meet in case something happens

408
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,400
here. Like if something happens in Birmingham, are we going to meet outside of Birmingham?

409
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:39,360
If something happens in Huntsville, well, cause you would, it would be hard for you to, if like,

410
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,560
let's just be hypothetical and say something happened downtown, it'd be hard for you to get

411
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:47,840
past downtown to get to them. Right. And same for them to you. Yeah. There's just a lot of like

412
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,680
scenarios that you can't just be like, oh, here's our meeting spot in this spot because like, what

413
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:58,080
if this doesn't happen? And you know, if, if you wait so many days and you don't hear from me,

414
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:03,360
maybe that, you know, that's when it's time to like, go to our meeting spot. This is wild that

415
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,680
you've had this conversation. I know. Like I told Alison about it and she was, and she was kind of

416
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,960
like listening to me and I was like, I know I sound like a crazy person, but I mean, it's,

417
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:17,600
I sound like a crazy person, but in my opinion, it is better to be so because Robin, I sent my

418
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,920
sister-in-law and my brother, I was like, are y'all ready with y'all's bug out bags? Like I do. And I

419
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,040
sent him a picture, I think of my bag and I was just kind of like, ha ha, I made this bag just in

420
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:32,080
case. And she was like, don't be scared. They're just trying to like incite fear in people and

421
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:38,640
like, but my thing is maybe they are just trying to make everybody scared, but I would be rather

422
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:44,000
be a little bit scared now than not prepared if something were to happen. You're scaring me now.

423
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:49,440
Am I scaring you? Oh my God, I'm not trying to scare anybody. I just think that it's a little

424
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:54,240
bit better to be prepared, like be prepared, like because it could, something bad could happen.

425
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:59,600
I think like those first few days after like, and last Friday when they were saying that there was

426
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:04,640
going to be a day of jihad. Oh, I know. I was like, Jerry and I were nervous because we were flying

427
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:11,360
on Saturday. Yeah. I had my gun strapped to me all day. I was like, I'm scared that it's something

428
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:17,680
bad is going to happen. Yeah. Yeah. It makes me sick that we even have to think about it. Yeah.

429
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:22,880
You know, it is, it is sad. It's very sad, but anyways, that has happened. I'm trying to think

430
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:29,520
of what else we, I went to a haunted house last weekend. How was that? It was expensive. It was

431
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:35,920
called warehouse 31. They had scary. Okay. So we waited like an hour. You have to wait like an hour

432
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,400
to get in. They have like drinks and stuff. I didn't get any drinks or anything. Um, but then

433
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,720
they had scary. Okay. While you wait. And so you could, people could like, I didn't, but like other

434
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:49,840
people did. There were some people that were there that were actually really good. Like, yeah. Um,

435
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:54,960
so, but you sit in this big room, I'm surprised I don't have COVID yet because you sit in this

436
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,280
huge room with like all these people. I mean, there's doors are open and there's like air coming in

437
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,200
and out, but like, it's a lot of people sitting next to each other. You could, there were like

438
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,840
little kids there at like midnight. We didn't go in until like one, maybe when they used to have

439
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:14,400
the sloths one, we paid and waited. And I mean, for hours and hours and hours, like probably three

440
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,880
hours. Cause they had like beer vendors and stuff like that. And we tried to wait it out. And finally

441
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,720
we were like, screw this. We're not waiting any longer. So I looked it up after we left, cause

442
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:29,440
there were so many people there and it costs $35 or 30, 30 something dollars, like about $35

443
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:34,800
to go through this thing. I was like, these people are making bank because they really essentially

444
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,920
only have to buy all this stuff like once or twice, like maybe like re get a couple of extra things

445
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,840
here and there every year. But like most of the stuff, they'll just like keep it and reuse it.

446
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,480
And they are making bank. And if you look it up, like, and they only have to work like

447
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:55,440
two months out of the year, like, holy moly. At my old job, there were a handful of people

448
00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:01,680
that used to participate and they were characters at Atrox. And I mean, they would just do it after

449
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:07,440
work and they loved it. And see, that's a weird, I don't know if I could like the people that we

450
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,520
went really late and we were like one of the last groups to go. And I was like, I think these people

451
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,480
are getting tired. Cause like some of them would just be like, Oh, they wouldn't say anything. They

452
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:20,000
was following us. And I was like, I think they're tired. I mean, you're doing the same repetitive

453
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:25,200
stuff for the most part for hours. Yeah. Well, the first one you say, you go through two different

454
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:29,360
sections and the first thing you go through is like a 3d thing and they give you like 3d glasses.

455
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,040
I would hate that. And I took the glasses off because I was like, I'm gonna, because you walk

456
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:38,640
through this thing and you go over this like rickety bridge that's like steel or metal or

457
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,960
something and you're going through it and there's this big thing around you that's circling and it's

458
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,880
got like splatters of paint and like random stuff. And it's like, you got this three and I'm like

459
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:52,320
going to vomit. I haven't even been drinking or eating. I was like, I had stopped drinking

460
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:57,680
and I was like, Oh, I'm getting sick. This is so dizzy. And I like took the glasses off. But anyway,

461
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:04,400
so we walked in that thing. And so Santana was in front of me, Santana goes in and I wasn't even in

462
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,080
there yet. Like at first I was like, Oh, I got to hold onto somebody. Cause I was the only one that

463
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:13,760
like didn't have like a husband or a boyfriend like to hold onto. I mean, there was DJ's dad was there.

464
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:20,160
So I could have like done that. That would have been weird. So, um, but I was like holding on,

465
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,520
gonna hold onto Santana. What Santana walked ahead of me cause she was trying to get with Aaron

466
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:29,120
and this person jumps like the scary person jumps out and scares her and she falls down and like

467
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:35,680
knocks into the wall. It was hilarious. It was like the first room that we walked into too. It was so

468
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,920
funny. And I was like, Oh my God, we all died laughing. And then, so we go through that one

469
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:45,680
and then it gets to the point. So it was like Santana and I was like holding onto her like boobs

470
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:51,120
because I was holding under her armpits and I was like holding her boobs from the, from the back,

471
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:55,520
like the side boob. It was like this and I, cause she's so little, like my hands were big and I like,

472
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,280
I was like holding underneath her arm. I know, but she had a sweater on. I didn't want to like

473
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:03,680
stretch it out. And I was like, Oh, I was trying to hold her and I was like hugging her. And then

474
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:08,560
Rose was like hugging me. Um, and it was just like, we had like this hug train going through the

475
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,880
whole time and we like, we're like baby step in. Well then, so you go through that first one and

476
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:17,920
it got really dark and Aaron like left and it was pitch dark. And this last one, and then all of

477
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:26,240
a sudden this like, it's you hear this like a horn and this truck thing like runs and it like moves

478
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:32,160
and it's like going to squish you against this wall or whatever. It's like, Oh shoot. Oh my God. So

479
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:36,560
that's when I like remember grabbing, I was like grabbing Santana. I was like, Oh my God. No,

480
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,520
I reached in front of Santana and I grabbed Aaron and I was like,

481
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:47,520
so that happened. And then we went through that, that one to me wasn't as scary, but I guess it was,

482
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,920
it was, I don't know. We all were like, it wasn't as scary or that one was more scary. I don't know.

483
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,520
We, it wasn't as scary at first, but now when I think about it, it was kind of more scary.

484
00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:00,160
Cause I think I was like not ready for it. The second one we went through smelled like they had

485
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:04,720
like, it was like zombies and stuff and it had like, they had like dead bodies on the thing and

486
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:09,040
people like jumping up on there, eating the zombies, eating the dead bodies and it smelled

487
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:15,360
like dead bodies and it smelled like dead bodies and cat pee. And so we went through that one and

488
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:20,400
then the chain, we kept hearing chainsaws and Santana kept being like, Oh, I can hear the chainsaws.

489
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,560
And I was like, it's okay. It's okay. Just keep going. Just out. She had her eyes closed and she

490
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,480
was in front of me. Aaron was like way above in front of her and she was in front of me and she

491
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:38,720
had her eyes closed and I was like directing her. I was like, go this way. And so at one point there

492
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:42,720
was this scary person and Rose would be like, Oh my God, Oh my God, freaking out this person. And

493
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:48,320
I feel like the more scared you are, the more they mess with you. And this one dude was following

494
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:53,200
Rose for like five minutes in the thing. And he was like standing behind her and I looked back and

495
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:59,280
I was like, Rose, that dude is still following you. And she was like, Oh my God. Jerry and I went

496
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,440
through Atrox years ago and it's the only time that I've been through there. And I mean, it was

497
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,440
like a good one, but it was only, there was only three of us. And so, you know, we needed a bigger

498
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,520
group than that. So we're following these other people that we don't know. You've never seen them

499
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:16,560
before in our lives. But all I knew is the guy in front of me had a light gray waffle shirt on.

500
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:20,880
And so all I did was like put my hand out enough to where I could feel the waffle.

501
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:28,720
Cause I couldn't like grab onto her. But I like made sure that I was like,

502
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,240
hello, I'm not scared to, you know, the people that were probably right. I would just like laugh at

503
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:43,040
them. Because if you act scared, they go, yeah, I went to a crazy one. One time years ago,

504
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:49,600
our mind adjust this friend Tanner. I went with her and this other couple. And I mean, we are in

505
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:55,360
our early twenties and we went to six flags for the day. And then we went to this haunted house.

506
00:46:55,360 --> 00:47:00,960
Wait, so Jessica went to it? No, no, no, no, no, it was just the four of us. So me and Tanner,

507
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:06,000
and then this other couple. And we went to six flags and we went to this place and I can't

508
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:12,800
remember what it's called, but it's in like this rug warehouse. It's huge. Like so big. It's one

509
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:19,440
of the coolest ones that I've ever been to. But it took forever to get through there. And then

510
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:24,400
the second one was like an obstacle course type haunted house. And I was like, this is fucking

511
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:32,240
bullshit. You have to like climb over stuff, climb over stuff and climb in like in things like on

512
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:37,440
the on on your hands and knees, like crawling. We had to like go underneath little things. I don't

513
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,680
like that. I want to control with my feet. And at one point was standing up straight all the way to the top.

514
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,960
And we all had to duck like this. And she was just like, I'm just good.

515
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:52,160
Yeah, no, I can't remember what the name of it is. And it's in like maybe Douglasville area

516
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:58,000
outside of, you know, downtown Atlanta. But it was a really good haunted house. Yeah. So the scariest

517
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:04,160
part for me was when this chainsaws came and Santana was so scared of the chainsaws. She,

518
00:48:04,720 --> 00:48:10,480
the first one came and she booked it and she left me and I was like grabbing it. I was like, no.

519
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:14,240
And I'm like standing there with nobody in front of me. And I'm like, no, no, no, no.

520
00:48:14,240 --> 00:48:17,920
And so I start taking off running, but then I have people holding on to me and I'm like, oh God.

521
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:23,840
So I'm running. And I knew I was like Santana, if you run, you're not going to have anybody

522
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:29,520
with you. And there's somebody on the next one coming to get you. She starts running back at me.

523
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:36,560
Started running back and I was like, I knew it. And then so that happened like twice. And then

524
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,760
like the last one, it was like somebody had a chainsaw and she ran out the door and it was the

525
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:46,400
last thing. And she was like, oh my God. Yeah, it was scary. Yeah. I don't, I don't like being

526
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:51,680
scared. Brandon has been harassing me here lately. Every time like we go to, you know, pick something

527
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:56,800
to watch on TV or whatever and Netflix Hulu. And he'll be like, Oh, look at all the scary things

528
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:02,640
that I don't know. Watch it by yourself. And that's what I told him. I was like, Wednesday.

529
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,720
Yeah, you can do whatever you want. Hopefully Brandon, you're at home watching a scary movie

530
00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:14,560
by yourself right now. There you go. So yeah, because me out of that shit, DJ, it was DJ's

531
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:23,040
birthday. Like not a lot. It was like two weeks ago and, and he wanted us to go the weekend before

532
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:28,640
or whatever, but like everybody got sick because we were all hung over from, we went to see,

533
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:34,640
not last Friday, but the Friday before we went to see green sky blue grass at Avondale.

534
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:40,240
Y'all did that last year, didn't you? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, no, no. So DJ and Rose and my older

535
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:45,360
brother, Eric went to that last year. Okay. But I thought Santana went, y'all did the flower crowns.

536
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:51,840
We did that for the Mason music festival for like the brook and the bluff. Oh, okay. Okay. So,

537
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:58,000
but we, I made flower crowns for us this time and we got so many compliments, like they were

538
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:04,400
cute, like fresh flower crowns for our green sky bluegrass thing. So we went to that and guess

539
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:11,040
who we ran into? Pete. Oh, did y'all took a picture together, right? Or a snap or something.

540
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,640
I don't know. Probably. I thought you did. Cause I thought that too. That was, but I wasn't even

541
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:19,360
going to open that can of worms. Well, so we're all hanging out like in the crowd. And then all of a

542
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,680
sudden DJ and Aaron come running back and they're like, Pete's here. Pete's here. Pete's here. Can

543
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,920
he, I was like, tell him to come over. Like, why are y'all being weird? And DJ was like, so

544
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:33,520
wanted like Pete to come over. He like loves Pete, I guess. Or he, he always is trying to hook me up.

545
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,680
He's like, is that, is that guy like, is that somebody you want to be like, is that a boo man?

546
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:43,760
And I'm like, you know, that kind of thing. So, so anyways, that was fun. He ended up showing up

547
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:51,360
and he was in his full overalls and he had this like, like cutoff black jean, I'm assuming it's

548
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:59,280
jean vest with like patches on the back. Like he looked like a farmer that rides motorcycles.

549
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:04,720
Well, did he ride his bike there? Oh, I don't think so. No, he drove his car because he got me

550
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:13,200
some tums out of his car. Um, so, but he has gotten a haircut and he has a mullet now. No, he does not.

551
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:18,960
But it's like a faux mullet. It's like, okay, so he goes like this, his hair, it's like, he has like a

552
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:26,160
bob with his hair now. And then when he goes like this, it's like shaved on the sides to where he

553
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:32,560
can push it back and it's a mullet. Oh my God. It's terrible. I was like, Pete, no, he loves it though.

554
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:39,200
He's like, yeah, it looks so cool. And I'm like, no, it's so bad. I haven't seen it. I guess he

555
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:45,120
hasn't displayed it on the snapchats yet. I guess not. But yeah, so, um, so we saw that that was fun.

556
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:52,400
Um, trying to think what else happened. I don't know. Anyways, let's see what's next on the agenda.

557
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:59,360
Okay. So we have a little bit of time left and I kind of wanted to tell, we, I don't know what we

558
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:04,560
were having a conversation about. We're talking about something and energy vampires came up and I

559
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:08,000
was like, that's such a good, we were talking about it with Jessica. I don't even know what it was

560
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,800
about. And I was like, that's such a good topic for the podcast. Let's talk about it. Absolutely.

561
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:18,000
And you know, like energy vampires reminds me of, have you ever seen what we do in the shadows?

562
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:24,560
No. Oh my God. You have to watch it. It's not scary. It's like a, it's like a, it's like the office for

563
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:29,760
vampires. It's like a, um, what do they call it? It's like a mockumentary, I think is what they're

564
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:36,320
called. And it's like vampires and people are following around vampires to like document them,

565
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,560
I guess, like documentary of vampires, but it's like funny. And so there's one guy on there,

566
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:46,640
his name's Colin Robinson, I think. And he's an energy vampire. So he's like this like white dude

567
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:52,560
and he dresses in a sweater vest or like a sweater with like a tie. And he's like, I get, he's like,

568
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:57,200
I guess they call him a psychic vampire or an energy vampire, but he like basically sucks the

569
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:03,200
life out of you. That's how he stays alive is by sucking your energy away. But that just makes me

570
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:09,200
think about that. So I think about it sometimes because energy vampires, what does an energy

571
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:16,560
vampire mean to you? Um, to me, I mean, I would say for the most part, it, I find it more applicable

572
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:24,800
like in the workplace and things like that. And it's just somebody who is going to micromanage

573
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:35,120
you or waste your time or kill the fun and just be a giant pain in the ass. And they make you just

574
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:40,240
not have energy to complete your tasks. That's a good thought too. I never even really thought

575
00:53:40,240 --> 00:53:44,480
about that. The only time I've ever really talked about it was at work. And I had a director one

576
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:50,240
time who wanted us to like read this whole book on it or whatever. And so I did. And then we never

577
00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:55,040
talked about it. You want to talk about energy vampire, you wasted my fucking time asking me to

578
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:59,280
read that book. And then you're not even going to talk to us about it as a leadership group.

579
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:04,240
Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. So we're going to talk about that. And then we're going to talk about

580
00:54:04,240 --> 00:54:11,360
that. So like chronic complainers, negative Nancy's and people like that. So, but okay.

581
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:17,040
So sometimes I think I'm like, I'm wondering, am I an energy vampire? And do I do it sometimes?

582
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,680
Because I know like I complain to people about stuff sometimes. So, but then I started like

583
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:26,320
Googling it and I'm like, I don't think that's the same thing. Venting to your friends is not

584
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:32,720
the same thing as you would be an energy vampire if you went to sit at black market by yourself,

585
00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:39,520
found a random and complain to them. Oh, yeah. That's real messed up. Yeah. Yeah. But also,

586
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:44,560
I mean, I guess you can be an, like, if you venting, there's a difference between venting and like

587
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:53,600
dumping, I guess. Well, and I also think that energy vampires within like maybe your friend

588
00:54:53,600 --> 00:55:00,000
group is somebody who complains all the time or whatever, or it's always something with them,

589
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:05,040
but then they don't want to listen to like what you have going on. They don't ask you about yourself

590
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:10,240
and what you have going on and that sort of thing. And then you feel drained after the conversation

591
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:15,360
or- And you haven't had a chance to get anything off your chest or, you know, talk about yourself.

592
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:22,880
And yeah. Yeah. They want attention constantly and it's all about them. So like they show up and it's

593
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,400
like, oh, let's, the conversation is all about me, all about me, all about me. It has nothing to do

594
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:33,040
with you. And then if you try to turn it to you, it turns back to them. Yeah. Even if it's something

595
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:38,800
as simple as like storytelling or whatever, like there's always a story and that's the most

596
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:43,760
important thing, you know, that's happening in that moment with that group or whatever.

597
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:49,280
And it's like, it's not always about you. Yes. Yeah. And so like, yeah, just making sure you know

598
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,880
the difference between venting and dumping, because like, I guess venting would be like,

599
00:55:52,880 --> 00:56:00,720
I don't know. So according to the internets of the world, venting versus dumping stuff, like

600
00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:04,320
venting would be like, okay, I'm going to talk about this, but like I'm talking about this because

601
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:10,400
I'm trying to like understand the issue, understand the problem and like, and have a solve the

602
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:16,160
problem. Yeah. Dumping would be like, just like coming in just to get the, just, yeah. Just to

603
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:21,920
get like the attention on you or to pull. Yeah. Yeah. It's just really that. And I don't know,

604
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:26,880
I feel like sometimes I've the energy vampires that I have are like the people that constantly

605
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:32,400
make me feel like I'm either like walking on eggshells, because if I say something weird,

606
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:37,680
I'm like, or, you know, you can't talk to somebody about something because they're going to like,

607
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:43,120
you can't talk, you can't bring up a conversation, a certain type topic of conversation because that

608
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:48,320
person's going to like twist it and turn it into like this terrible thing. Yeah. Even if you don't

609
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:55,760
mean it in a negative way or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know. I don't know.

610
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:02,960
I think that, and this is going to sound kind of weird, but hear me out on this. I think that there

611
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:08,960
are absolutely energy vampires, even like in our TV shows and stuff, you know, like characters,

612
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:14,320
whether it be reality or characters on a TV show, there are some characters that you're just like,

613
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:19,440
oh, I'm ready for them to be gone. I don't like their character, the role that they're playing,

614
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:24,320
you know, whatever it just is like on love is blind. Well, they're not who would be our energy

615
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:34,560
vampire on there. Stacey. Stacey. I don't know how to blend my makeup, whatever her last name is.

616
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaking of love is blind, we'll have to get to that on a different episode, but we, sorry guys,

617
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,760
Sarah's been out of town, so we haven't done love is blind. No, but we are going to do it because

618
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:48,480
we have a lot to say. Yes, so much. Yeah. So who else, can you give me another example of like

619
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:55,920
an energy vampire from a TV show? God, you're putting me on the spot. I'm trying to think of

620
00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:06,480
a character that people don't like, just globally didn't like type situation. I would say more on

621
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:13,520
maybe a Grey's Anatomy type scenario or whatever. I think it would be safe to say, and obviously

622
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:17,600
there are some people that may disagree with me, but I'm going back to the OG cast, but Christina

623
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:22,960
Yang was an energy vampire. She was only worried about herself being the best cardio, I loved her.

624
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:28,400
Thoracic surgeon ever. I mean, I liked her humor. I thought it was funny, but it was always something

625
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:33,600
with her. You know what I mean? Yeah. And she was always just trying to get to the top and be better

626
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:37,840
and whatever. And I think her friends probably could have used a little bit more emotional support

627
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:46,080
from her. I feel like that character would think that everyone else was an energy vampire from her,

628
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:50,320
but if she was like, no emotion, let's just do this, let's just do this. And everybody,

629
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:54,480
she would probably think that. Right, but in a way that can, I mean, still could be an energy

630
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:59,760
vampire because you're not giving anything that other people are giving to you. Yeah.

631
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:05,600
Yeah. I mean, that's just an off the cuff example. Yeah. So I'm trying to think of anybody else.

632
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,720
It's just one of those things like, you know, when you watch a series or whatever,

633
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:14,480
and there's some character that just exhausts you. Yes. That yes. Yes. That's what I mean.

634
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:19,920
And I'm trying to think of any characters, like any shows that I'm actually watching right now.

635
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:25,760
What am I even watching? I mean, Game of Thrones, Joffrey, energy vampire,

636
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:31,360
jeez, Cersei, energy vampire. Oh, they're the worst. Right?

637
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:38,400
Like it was draining to watch them on that show sometime because it was just like,

638
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:43,040
you're emotionally involved in it, but you're also like, God bless America. Like can they just go

639
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:47,280
away? But then without them, there would be no drama. When it's like you're, so there's also like

640
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:54,000
energy, like trying to protect your energy. So like if you have energy vampires and maybe they're

641
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,800
not sucking, they're sucking the life out of you. Maybe they're pumping in bad energy to you as well

642
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:04,960
instead of like, yeah, sucking the energy out of you. I mean, I think it's one of like, when you

643
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:09,200
go through good episodes of things, like they can pump you up or whatever. But then when you go

644
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:12,560
through bad episodes, like there's been times where I'm like watching some sort of TV show and

645
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:17,200
I'm like, I have to watch something different. That's more positive. I just can't do this anymore.

646
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,920
Yeah. Yeah. I need a break. Exactly. And you know, you get around somebody like,

647
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:28,000
and I am probably, I feel like I'm guilty of probably being a Debbie Downer sometimes.

648
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,880
And I think that everybody may agree that they're also, well, I don't know. I, I

649
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,200
complain about things for work a lot. And I feel like people are probably like, oh my God,

650
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:44,560
she's always complaining about stuff. And, but it's not always, I mean, yes for work. Yeah. But I,

651
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:52,240
I, I just feel like everybody may think, may at some point in their life have to vent and like

652
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:56,880
do stuff like that and be like a Debbie Downer at some point. But like, I mean, this season and like

653
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:01,440
place that you're in work-wise or whatever is not going to be your forever. So in order to get

654
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:05,760
through it, you need your people and you need to be able to say whatever you want to say about it

655
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:10,400
to get through it. Well, but I don't, I don't, I wouldn't, maybe I am, but I wouldn't call myself

656
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:18,240
an energy vampire. I just, I am on, I am heightened. I have a heightened awareness for

657
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:26,560
the things that might make me an energy vampire because I don't want to be that. And I know that,

658
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:32,240
you know, if I were to like continue just like being negative and like, I don't, I don't want

659
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:36,000
to be that, you know what I mean? So it was like, I mean, you definitely acknowledge like if you're

660
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,600
going through one of those days where you're like firing off texts, cause you're fired up

661
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:44,400
about something or whatever, like you fully acknowledged during that conversation.

662
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:49,600
I know this is a lot, you know, whatever we, sometimes I'll be like, don't even listen.

663
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:53,840
Don't even read these. I'm just going to send them. You don't have to read them if you don't want to

664
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:59,600
because I'm like, I just, somebody has to, it has to come out of me somehow. Yes. You know,

665
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,320
and it's like, people are like, write a journal. I'm like, that takes too long.

666
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:07,760
I don't know where the pen and paper is. Let me use my two thumbs to type off 37 messages

667
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:11,280
at the time I could write one page. Right. And then it's like gone and you're like, oh yay.

668
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:15,760
I feel much better now. Yeah. I think that's fair. Yeah. They should, I wonder if there's a company

669
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:22,560
that has like a, um, like just random like text number that you could text to vent to without

670
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:26,880
getting answers or something, just to get shit off your chest. Surely they have like those,

671
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:33,280
those like, um, therapy people that you can like text to that would actually give you a response.

672
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:39,600
Yeah. I don't know. I wouldn't text like a random number. I would be like, yeah. But you know what

673
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:44,160
I'm saying? Like two five five five five and you know, and it just goes, it just goes into the

674
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:49,280
ABS somewhere. That's like, wasn't there a movie or something that I was watching the other day

675
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:54,880
where the girl like was texting her dead husband or boyfriend. Uh, is it the one with Priyanka

676
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:59,360
Chopra? Yes. What is that called? Yeah. But I know what you're talking about. And it's got Harry

677
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:04,880
Styles in it. I think. Oh, is that who's in it? Yeah. They're both in it. Okay. I need to watch

678
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:10,400
that. Cause aren't they married? No. Wait, who's Priyanka? She's married to Jonas. Jonas. Nick

679
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:15,360
Jonas is in there. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. So he's, he's like a, he's not like a main character. He's

680
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:21,200
like an idiot in there. It's really funny. Um, so yeah, but she's like texting a, like her dead

681
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:25,760
husband and like some other dude gets the phone and it's like, yeah, yeah, it's good. I forgot

682
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,480
what it's called. I need to, I know what you're talking about, but I need to watch it. Yeah.

683
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:33,280
Yeah. But see, you could like, what if somebody else gets that number? It was like they assigned

684
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:38,960
it to him at work and he was like, what is this? Well, this person's texting me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

685
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:46,000
So, but yeah, hopefully, hopefully if I'm ever an energy vampire guys, I really hope that you guys

686
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:54,400
are like, E V, EV. That's going to be your safe word to know that you're being an energy vampire.

687
01:03:54,400 --> 01:04:00,000
You're being an EV. I don't know. And stop being a vampire. It's like that song. Um,

688
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:05,680
I don't know what it is, how it goes. Come on. You haven't sang the whole episode. I know,

689
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:11,280
but I forgot how the song even goes. Like I know of the song, but I forgot of it, how it goes.

690
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,920
Do you know what it is? No, I've known it. Well, anyway, so if I think about it, I'll like record

691
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:23,040
it later or something, but yeah. So hopefully we won't have any energy vampires for Halloween.

692
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:29,600
Nah. Um, but let the good times roll. Yeah. What can we do? I don't know. I just, I like to protect

693
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:36,480
my energy, but sometimes it is good to like, energy is also sanity. Oh my God. Yes, it is.

694
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:45,760
And you are completely correct. Yeah. It is a sacred thing to hang on to. It is. Yeah. And

695
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:50,080
that's why I think that was like my original response to you today about like Halloween or

696
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:56,480
whatever is because I just, I think I need to like get through, you know, the week or whatever and

697
01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:01,760
feel like back in my element. I mean, I'm still not even like fully unpacked yet. So it's been

698
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:06,080
a little bit overwhelming to like come back and get back to reality and that sort of thing. So

699
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:14,480
maybe I'll feel better next week. Back to life, back to reality. Listen, I have slept so good in

700
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:21,280
my own bed. I cannot even tell you it has been the greatest week of sleep of my life. I've been

701
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:27,360
going to bed at like nine 30. That's nice. It's been great. I tried to do that the other night

702
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:33,360
and I even took a pill. I've been having sleepy time tea, not even doing anything else, taking any

703
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:39,760
other melatonin or whatnot. I took a unisom. Yeah. Well, there's two different types of unisom

704
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:46,880
or there's multiple types of unisom. One of them lasts in your body a lot longer than the other one.

705
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:53,520
I used to take the minis. Yeah. Well, I don't know which one I took. I took the sleep tabs

706
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:58,480
last night and that is the one that lasts in your body longer than the others. And all this morning

707
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:05,520
I was like, uh, yeah, it was really, really, really bad. But I think I need to take the other

708
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:09,040
one. My brother was like, Oh, this one might work better for you because the first one I was like,

709
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:15,200
this is not doing anything. Should I take another one? And I'd taken two. And then like the next day

710
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:19,840
I was like, cause it's an antihistamine. It was like taking like 10 minute drill or something.

711
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:23,920
Not really. But I had, it was like super dry. Like he was like, just drink a bunch of water.

712
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:28,720
You'll be fine. I used to take the unisom minis, which I think are only 25 milligrams as opposed

713
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:33,760
to the regulars that are 50, I think. Um, and they worked for a while, but then, you know,

714
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:38,240
I mean, your body builds up tolerance and stuff like that. So you just gotta keep taking more,

715
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:45,920
take more and more. Yeah. So I quit taking those. Well, Butterbean, it said we have to go.

716
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:56,720
Butterbean say bye. Say bye. Give a kiss. No, no whinies. Okay. Well, you want to tell them,

717
01:06:56,720 --> 01:07:02,320
tell them where to find us? Kisses on Instagram. I think I have podcasts. Is that Butterbean's voice?

718
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:09,840
Yes. Well, maybe it should be different. Maybe let me try a different one. Um, I can't do it.

719
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:13,920
I don't know. I feel like his voice would be like that. A little boy voice. A little boy voice.

720
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:21,360
Does that sound like a little boy? Yeah. You can catch us on Instagram at TKFpodcast at gmail.com.

721
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:29,280
I mean, that's our email address. Email, email Emily and Sarah and they will respond or maybe talk

722
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:35,440
about you later. Butterbean, you need to practice there, bud. I gotta go get my diaper changed.

723
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:40,960
Give us five stars. Bye. Bye.

724
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:54,400
Blood sucker fame ever bleeding me dry like a GD vampire.

725
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,440
Abcdefg. I have to go.
